How does PCORI assess its Merit Review process and learn about opportunities for improvement?

After each review cycle, Reviewers are invited to complete a post-review survey. Additionally, a random subset of Reviewers are invited to participate in more in-depth group telephone interviews to discuss the Merit Review process. As a learning organization, PCORI continuously evaluates and revises processes, including application review protocols. Please send comments on the Merit Review process to reviewers@pcori.org.
